PN. I haven't seen the photo but I suspect his medals are GSM62 with Bar for NI, a NATO medal of some sort and then the Accumulated Campaign Service Medal which resembles the GSM with a yellow central stripe not red. It is awarded for more than 3 yrs in a GSM/OSM area. 3 Sqn RAF Regt like 72 Sqn completed 2 year tours in the province and if he did more than 1 he would have been awarded the ACSM. It is more than possible that he retired at either 9 or 12 years before the award of the LSGM so it very likely that his awards are genuine. For the record I too have those 4 plus 4 more and 3 extra bars, very common for todays RAF
